VietNamNet Bridge - With eye-catching decor, this unique cafe is located in a wagon of more than 100 years old.
Not very far from the oldest train station in Vietnam, built by the French in 1932 in Da Lat city, the Da Lat Train Cafe is in the campus of the railroad villa zone, with poinsettia flowers blooming along the roadsides.
The cafe is surrounded by quiet space and colorful flower shrubs.
The café opened in July this year. The owner bought the old wagon (manufactured in 1910) from Binh Duong province and spent three months to turn it into a lovely café.
For those who read and love Chinese little girl Totto-chan, they should not miss the chance to feel like the girl: "Sitting in the train likes being on a continuous journey..."
The wagon is painted in dark blue.
The furniture inside are made of wood, making things become more friendly and cozy.
Tables are decorated with little pots of flowers.
An antique lamp is used as a decorative item.
The cafe also has many old, unique things, such as a gramophone or pictures of trains from around the world.
These paintings imitate postage stamps; they are hanging along the walls of the wagon, like stamps from around the world.
The tables are next to the window so customers can see the views of the highland city.
This is a place for young people to take photos.
The Da Lat Train Cafe also serves food.
With very affordable prices, from VND25,000 to VND40,000 ($1.2-2), you can enjoy excellent drinks or delicious cuisines.
You can also sit outside to enjoy the panoramic view of Da Lat.
If you have the opportunity to visit this romantic city, you should visit this café to feel the specialty of this cafe. |
